• 3 cups plain flour
• ¾ cup sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp grated nutmeg
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 100g butter, cold and cubed
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 egg, beaten, for glazing

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Whisk the dry ingredients including the spices. Powder bun is defined by its nutmeg — be heavier-handed than feels sensible.
2. Rub the cold butter in to fine crumbs.
3. Stir in the coconut milk and bring together into a stiff dough. It should be firmer than a scone dough.
4. Do not overwork it. Shape into thick rounds and set well apart on a lined tray.
5. Brush with beaten egg and bake at 190°C for 22–25 min until risen and dark golden.
6. Cool on a rack. It is dry, dense and spiced by design — a bun to be eaten with tea or cheese, not a cake, and it keeps for days.
